RP: FH was asked to be in a traditional Indian Wedding
Original post by irishsweetheart
Has anyone else had, or have been to a traditional Indian wedding before?
FH's best friend from kindergarten is getting married this July and he just ask FH to be in the bridal party!
We're actually both really excited about it because the bride and groom are having a big traditional Indian wedding and the whole experience will be a first for both of us!
FH has to wear traditional garb AND grow a full beard, and because I don't have the first clue as to what would be appropriate for me to wear to the ceremony, the bride and groom are going to go out with me and FH one day and find me something!
After the ceremony there is going to be a place for us to change (FH into a tux and me into a gown)
I think we're gonna have a great time!

Find out he is a Hindu or Sikh, because I think only Sikh has to grow full beard ( but I dont' think your FH need to) and if he is a Sikh (for example he need to wear a turban in the ceremony) then make sure you wear somethng comfortable and not too revealing for the ceremony becuase you maybe need to sit on the floor and bring a scarf to cover your hair and you can wear whatever you want in the reception. If the wedding is a hindu wedding, I think you can wear anything you want unless you want to wear a saree. You can find them in Hickville or Jackson Height in Queens.
I found out from FH last night that the groom is actually Sikh and yes he has to grow a beard and wear a turban.
Thanks for everyone's help. I promise to take a lot of pictures and I'll even bump the thread after we go saree shopping!

hey lori!
thats so cool that he gets to be a part of such a different experiance. i've never been to one but my mom has been to a few for her co-works/their children and she has worn like a nice Sari (i think thats what they're called) for the ceremonies and then just a nice dress afterwards but im not sure what religion they were. at any rate she always had a great time and said the the ceremonies were really beautiful. good luck with everything tho i'm sure it was be awsome!
thanks sarah! we're really looking foward to it!
